Like many other gamers, I've been eagerly awaiting the launch of Horizon: Forbidden West on PC since it launched on PlayStation 5 back in 2022, and it seems as though my patience will be justly rewarded. While there's still much to learn about this port, such as its potential platform-exclusive features and performance footprint, I'm happy to see the game is getting the full Nvidia DLSS treatment.
With Nixxes Software at the helm, this soon-to-be former PlayStation 5 exclusive is in good hands to squeeze every drop of performance from the Nvidia DLSS in the Horizon: Forbidden West PC port.
During Nvidia's CES DLSS 3, DLAA, and Reflex, and it looks simply stunning.
While I respect anyone who prefers to play their games without these technologies, experiencing both Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive mode with DLSS 3 has made me a convert of sorts. Now, I'm hoping Horizon: Forbidden West can give me that same feeling of graphical awe.
I'm sure more of us can also get behind the prospect of ray-traced effects making their way into Horizon: Forbidden West. While there's no word on them just yet, I'd be surprised if they didn't show given their addition to the likes of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel's Spider-Man.
We sadly don't yet know the release date for the game, aside from an "Early 2024" launch window. The Horizon: Forbidden West system requirements are also up in the air right now, but we're confident that the GeForce RTX 4070 should be able to handle it just fine.
